Heathcote Botanical Gardens

Heathcote Botanical Gardens consists of an assortment of specialty gardens including a Japanese Garden, Reflection Garden, Herb Garden, Rainforest Display, Native Plants Garden and a Palm & Cycad Walk. These areas convey an atmosphere of individual garden rooms. Through this type of garden design, you will sense the intimacy of this unique botanical garden. Gracing the areas in between these specialty gardens are borders of flowering shrubs, bulbs, trees, vines and other assorted herbaceous plants. Niches found throughout the garden provide varied microclimates, which allows the use of a wide variety of plants ranging from those found in Mediterranean climates to the Tropics.

Veterans Day Remember Our Heros

Instead of an Adventure Photography Photowalk, this was more of a photographic challenge to honor the men and women of the Armed Forces. We took a photo of what symbolizes Veterans Day to us. This allowed all the members to participate wherever they may be! Some went to a ceremony, parade, or Navy Seal Museum to find inspiration.
